After singing in his grandmothers church and later touring with a Gospel outfit, Chuck Jackson moved into the secular music business when he joined and toured with the Del-Vikings, who had a smash hit with Come Go With Me. Chuck Jackson left the group and recorded with Kripp Johnson, another former member of the group, he then went solo and recorded as Charles Jackson, after which he changed to Chuck Flamingo for one release with Beltone. His next record Mr Pride, also for Beltone, was under his own name. Finally in 1961 he signed for the then fledgling independent Scepter / Wand label, and hit with his first release I Don't Want To Cry which he also co wrote. It was Wand's sixth release and a good start for both label and singer.
